ROAD Hauliers (Manchester) Ltd., the company formed by operators in the RHA North Western (Eastern) area for cooperative working, has appointed a manager to help in the implementation of its agreement with British Railways (CM, December 1 1967).
Mr. D. Ward, formerly manager of the Manchester clearing house. Transmotors Ltd., has had over 20 years' experience in transport. His new job will be similar in character since under the new agreement the company will organize the supply of articulated outfits to BR for the carriage of Freightliner containers in and out of the terminal at Longsight.
Mr. W. E. Garbett, manager. Freightliner terminal, said that private haulage already handled some of the c. and d. work but that so far no suitable trailers 30ft long with side raves or of the skeletal type—had been supplied by the company.
The company will deduct 5 per cent commission from the hauliers' hiring charge which, as a daily rate, will be £18 per 10hour day for 50 miles running or £.16 a day as a monthly hire charge. Excess mileage will be charged at a rate of 2s a mile.
